ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates the spiritual dimension within educational leadership practices. It draws working definition of spirituality from the literature and argues that spirituality is a phenomenon which enables leaders to find deeper meaning in their work. The chapter embraces leadership with particular emphasis on the educational leaders' ability to influence the religious and spiritual dimension of educational leadership through formal and informal means. Spiritual leadership may be credited with enhancing individuals' perception and utilization of their inner strength. Individuals in the workplace benefit from applying personal spiritual meanings to construct and frame their approach to work. Renewing teachers' spirits is a central task of the spiritual leader. Educational leaders must provide teachers with opportunities to grow and learn within the school community. Individuals' spirituality is fostered through bonding and participating with their colleagues. Group brainstorming and staff meetings provide the venue for individuals to collaborate in planning and decision making.
